Ropa Sucia (Dirty Laundry) Fotonovela. La Ropa Sucia
is a fotonovela produced by ETV, in collaboration with Palmetto
& Luna and the SC Humanities council, and designed to
target both Hispanic and non-Hispanic teenagers; its purpose
is to shed light on the issues facing the Hispanic community,
such as racism, assimilation, and religious and sub-cultural
division, as well as more universal issues such child abuse,
domestic violence, addiction, and low self-esteem –
issues that all teens may face. The project was conceived
and directed by Marycruz Figueroa, a young woman of Mexican
and Guatemalan descent, who was born in Aiken, South Carolina.
